The Boathouse Ranelagh Drive, Twickenham

Redundant music and film studios in a glorious riverside location with views over Richmond Lock and the Old Deer Park

An island site of about 12,900 sq ft (about 0.3 acres)

directly adjoining the Thames Path with about 6,437 sq ft of buildings on two floors

The Boathouse is located on the south-west bank of the River Thames,

close to and downriver of Richmond Lock and footbridge, within the London

Borough of Richmond upon Thames and the St Margarets Estate Conservation Area. The area is designated as within Flood Zone 3.

The character of the area is predominantly residential, with detached mid-Victorian villas in large gardens and, immediately to the north-west, extensive

redevelopment within the campus of Brunel University providing 3-4 storey housing set back from the riverside within landscaped grounds.

The Boathouse dates from the late 1960s as a redevelopment of Simms’

Boatyard and originally provided facilities for the making and showing of films, with meeting rooms, commercial recording studios, ancillary offices and

some residential accommodation. The internal layout (see floor plans attached) still reflects this use, with fully sound-proofed studios and control

rooms, mostly air-conditioned and with raised wood strip flooring allowing

concealed cable runs.

The two-storey building is of cavity wall construction with brick outer skins

under a low hipped roof of interlocking concrete tiles, with part of the upper elevations clad in timber-effect pvc panels. There is a substantial paved

terrace at first floor level, and a fully glazed conservatory has been added to the northern elevation. Within the grounds is a brick-built double garage,

parking for several cars, and sunken air-conditioning plant concealed within

screen-planting. The remaining area of garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and paved walkways, and its entire boundary adjoining the public

road and footpaths is walled.

Alongside is a floating landing stage connected to the property by a gangway

providing access to the Dutch barge (not included in the proposed sale)

moored there. The current mooring licence is not assignable, as is usual with PLA licences, but the Port of London Authority is expected to grant a new

licence if required by the next owner. This arrangement applies to additional mooring rights of over 1,000 feet, extending both sides of the property.

Subject to the necessary planning consent, the site is thought suitable for

alternative uses such as the construction of a single private house.

Offers in excess of £1.5m are invited for the freehold interest.
